Let $A$ be a $C^*$-algebra and $E$ be a left Hilbert $A$-module. In this paper we define a product on $E$ that making it into a Banach algebra and show that under the certain conditions $E$  is Arens regular. We also study the relationship between derivations of $A$ and $E$.

A linear mapping T from a subspace E of a Banach algebra into another Banach algebra is called spectrally bounded if there is a constant M ≥ 0 such that r(Tx) ≤ M r(x) for all x ∈ E, where r( · ) denotes the spectral radius. We prove that every spectrally bounded unital operator from a unital purely infinite simple C∗-algebra onto a unital semisimple Banach algebra is a Jordan epimorphism.

Let B be a complex unital Banach algebra. We consider the Banach algebra A = B × C ordered by the algebra cone K = {(a, ξ) ∈ A : ‖a‖ ≤ ξ}, and investigate the connection between results on ordered Banach algebras and the right bound of the numerical range of elements in B. 1. Ordered Banach algebras The aim of this paper is to stress the aspect of the applicability of the ordered Banach algebra...

We show that if T is an isometry (as metric spaces) between the invertible groups of unital Banach algebras, then T is extended to a surjective real-linear isometry up to translation between the two Banach algebras. Furthermore if the underling algebras are closed unital standard operator algebras, (T (eA)) −1 T is extended to a surjective real algebra isomorphism; if T is a surjective isometry...

In this note, unless we say otherwise every vector space or algebra we speak about is over C. If A is a Banach algebra and e ∈ A satisfies xe = x and ex = x for all x ∈ A, and also ‖e‖ = 1, we say that e is unity and that A is unital. If A is a unital Banach algebra and x ∈ A, the spectrum of x is the set σ(x) of those λ ∈ C for which λe−x is not invertible. It is a fact that if A is a unital B...

1. The norm || • || in a Banach algebra A is said to be minimal [l ] if, given any other norm || •||1 in A (with respect to which A need not be complete), the condition ||a||iá||a|| for each oG^4 implies that ||a[|i = ||a||. We shall say that || •|| is absolutely minimal if, given any other norm ||-||i whatever in A, then ||a||iè||a|| for each aEA. An absolutely minimal norm is of course minima...

Several representations of the generalized Drazin inverse of an anti-triangular block matrix in Banach algebra are given in terms of the generalized Banachiewicz--Schur form.  

Some generalizations of BCI algebras (the RM, BH, CI, BCH,
 BH**, BCH**, and *aRM** algebras) satisfying the identity $(x \rightarrow
 1)\rightarrow y = (y \rightarrow 1) x$ are considered. The connections these algebras
 various commutative groups (such as, for
 example, involutive moons (weakly)
 goops) described. In particular, it is proved that an RM
 algebra v...

We prove that the separating space of an epimorphism from a Lie–Banach algebra onto the (continuous) derivation algebra Der(A) of a Banach algebra A consists of derivations which map into the radical of A.
